Coachella 2014: MS MR rocks the main stage

Famous for her crazy hair colors, MS MR’s vocalist Lizzy Plapinger strutted onto the Coachella Stage with bright pink hair and lipstick. Her chunky lace-up boots tapped to the beat throughout the group’s set and by the New York duo’s third song she had to shed her white leather jacket due to the heat of the desert. Underneath, Plapinger revealed a black bodysuit covered with open mouths.

MS MR captivated and excited the crowd by dancing around the stage, with producer Max Hershenow leaving his keyboard and dancing in sync with the heavy bass. The duo sang forehead to forehead at one point, their matching thick gold chains dangling from their necks, making the crowd scream wildly.

This is the first year that the band has played at Coachella, but it’s not the first year that members have attended.

In addition to playing their own songs, MS MR played an eerie, ethereal cover of “their favorite band” Arctic Monkey’s “Do I Wanna Know?” and closed with their hit single, “Hurricane.”

“They performed just the way they sounded on the CD,” said Michele Munoz, a resident of the San Fernando Valley. “This is the first band I’ve seen at Coachella and it was an amazing way to start off the weekend.”
